While many fans and superstars love Trumps’ WWE appearances, WWE legend Mick Foley is clearly not one of them. Trump and Mick Foley, aka Mankind, were both inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the same year. And Foley has since been outspoken about wanting the former US president removed from the WWE Hall of Fame.
Foley has recently requested Trumps’ removal from the WHF on June 17. It should be noted that this is not the first time Mankind has earlier urged that Trump be removed from the Hall of Fame. In case you didn’t know, he tagged Mr. McMahon last year and requested that the former President be taken out of the Hall of Fame.
However, McMahon and WWE have not responded till now and it doesn’t seem like Trump will be removed anytime soon. Trump entered the WWE Hall of Fame six years after his big event, which marked his debut in the company.
